3321  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you holding your bitcoin for a price increase? on: December 14, 2015, 07:12:55 PM
Im still holding my bitcoins waiting to reach $500  and i hope it will happen..
Since the price gradually increasing i will still finding a job for bitcoin and collecting until the price is $500..

Well, if I was you, then I would wait at least till after the block halving. You will have a lot more profit than when you are waiting to sell at $500.

Also some rumors are spreading out like this will be the last time we can buy at cheap prices so much better if you have some coins saved before the halving. Whether the rumor is true or not it really helps. Look at the price volume today. Still many bulls are entering giving green lights in the chart. See how optimistic they are. Buying at the current rate considered high by the othersom but for the entering bulls no such thing as high price. Good sign.

The price is hovering around $450 but is now the right time to buy?

It depends, if you are here for the long term then yes, please go buy right now, because that would mean you don't care if tomorrow you woke up at a 350 correction and you will not cry because you aren't rich overnight. If you are here for the short term, it's hard to say because in Bitcoin corrections happen all the time. I think tho that we are going to see  500 before 2016.

Somebody on here found my Facebook and Instagram. threatened to post personal information of me like work address, home address, some private photos found...

Can they get banned when they do....

No, doxxing is allowed. And isn't a bannable offense unless they spam it everywhere.


Quote
 Because apparently, the moderators here don't like me, and it also seems like it doesn't even matter if they did or if they didn't because everyone is getting harassed on this site. Fine, whatever. Post my nudes but posting pictures of my niece and the rest of my family is seriously going too far.

It will have had absolutely nothing to do with mods but rather you being a naive idiot giving out too much personal info but I wouldn't be surprised if you just fabricated this incident for attention like you do everything else. And it's not just the mods who don't like you either but probably more users than not. The only people who you think do like you are likely either other trolls, sad white knights and neckbeards who like the attention as much as you do and shitposters who get to post even more shit in all these shitthreads you create on a daily basis.

I LIKE THIS GUY ROFL

and WHERE is the damn nudes ?

So many topics by this girl and still no jpeg's ? Whats up with that ?

I don't know what happene and can't be bothered to look at this person's posting history because honestly i've got better things to do, I will only point out at the fact that you should be wary of assuming this is a real female to begin with. When in doubt, it's just a guy trying to pass as a female to get desperate guys sending her gifts via PM, most likely in BTC form.
3323  Other / Meta / Re: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) on: December 14, 2015, 07:03:32 PM
No, the number/accuracy of the posts you have reported.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I have been busy lately myself trying to report those pesky bots. How many number of posts to accuracy do you need to become promoted as Staff?
3324  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is your bitcoin safe in cold wallet? on: December 14, 2015, 07:01:36 PM
I wouldnt worry about this at all. Something like this would be hard to sneak in and it would take multiple devs to manage it. Id say its a non issue.
Then why is there an XT version out there? Does this mean these ABC guys are more trust worthy than those XYZ guys? What is the criteria to judge? And how do you make sure you are not biased

Because the XT guys have tried to centralize Bitcoin by doing a ridiculously big blocksize increase and they couldn't find a consensus with devs and most people aren't agreeing with that, therefore they freely started their own thing as Bitcoin XT. I don't really see what you are trying to say in the OP, all those risks have already been considered and are under consideration.
3325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: December 13, 2015, 11:34:08 PM
Gambling is just something that comes with life.

Look how often you gambling, even when it is not for money.
You make bets with your friends on sport games, you bet you will get a good grade for an exam etc. etc.

When competing against each other it's natural to wage a bet. So gambling had to be introduced eventually.

Life would be better without gambling. Sometimes I have gone throught long periods of non-gambling and life seems so mundane and repetitive, then someday I say "fuck it" and take a big gamble and win and I feel like im on to of the world, best feeling ever. But I like to do this very rarely because if you gamble too much it gets old too fast.
3326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: is gambling fix your life? or wreck your life? on: December 13, 2015, 10:58:57 PM
I'm underage so I shouldn't be gambling to begin with, but this year I've lost over 14 BTC.

I know it sucks and most days I'm just trying to chase my losses, I made 2 BTC yesterday but was an idiot & lost it all on one bet.

Wait what, how old are you and how in hell did you get those 14 BTC to begin with? you lost 14 BTC? where did you get those from and when? That's crazy. Some adults here have been working for ages trying to get 2 figures on their BTC wallet and this kid is gambling 14 BTCs.. cmon.
3327  Economy / Economics / Re: Mining coins save or sell it? on: December 13, 2015, 10:57:18 PM
If I was a miner the only coins I would sell would be those that allow me to pay the bills, the rest I would keep them for the long term and I would probably never sell them for fiat but to spend them on goods and services offered directly in exchange of BTC.
3328  Other / Meta / Re: Just remove signatures already. As in delete, disable, gone. on: December 13, 2015, 10:52:48 PM
Signature campaigns are an easy way of getting money to the "newbies" of the forum, who didn't buy bitcoin when they were -$20 a piece.

Signature campaigns are doing god's work in spreading Bitcoin to the average joe. If you remove them, you will remove a source of spreading this Bitcoin around. Also, I have noticed that a lot of people (me included) is a lot more prone to not simply hoard your Bitcoin indefinitely, but to use it as an actual currency and purchase goods and services with it, if you get paid directly on it. When you have to buy Bitcoin with your fiat, you don't feel like spending it. There's something psychological about it, it feels like buying Gold, then using this Gold to buy something mundane.. not worth the effort of converting your fiat for that when you can directly buy with your fiat. In fact it's pretty stupid.

OTOH, if you get paid on BTC directly, it's way more convenient to use it in a shop that's accepting BTC, and right now, sig campaigns are the most immediate way to get them. So you are also not only killing a way for common people to make some beerBTC on the side, but a big part of this BTC potentially going into merchant's hands.
I don't see how signature campaigns are spreading bitcoin. Signature campaigns are on bitcointalk, a forum where everyone has already been told about bitcoin.





That's a pretty narrow view of things. Sure if you are here it means you know about Bitcoins, someone told you, but so what? how does that negate the fact that it helps redistributing Bitcoin? Someone with 0 money to invest in Bitcoin, can get their first satoshis by being active on the forum, which means this person will have an incentive to keep growing their Bitcoin knowledge.
Spreading Bitcoins = ways to get Bitcoin that aren't strictly investing on it which is prohibitive for 99% of people out there.
3329  Other / Meta / Re: Help me, lol on: December 13, 2015, 10:48:55 PM
theymos restricted them due to abuse. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1172918.0

You could ask a higher rank member to quote your post and then the image will show.

Forgetting that you can wait until you're Junior Member and you will be able to post images.

How many posts required to become junior member?

8 More activity post. Though you need to have 8 eligible activity. Potential activity is 1 per day, updated every two weeks i believe. Basically after the next activity update, you'll be able to go up to 42 activity i think, up from 28.

1 per day? I think it doesn't work like that. You can make 14 points of activity in a single day by doing 14 posts if you didn't do 14 posts inside the 14 day period where you can do said 14 posts, so you can make 14 points of increment each 14 days.. confusing right, well im not sure how it works but I can tell you that im about to be Hero Member soon, I think by early January. So just keep posting as regular and you will get there anyway.
3330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin get faster transactions like Litecoin? on: December 13, 2015, 10:45:52 PM
Litecoin solves nothing and will eventually meet the same fate as Bitcoin, but the good news is in Bitcoin we have the best developers in the game therefore the scaling issue is way safer in Bitcoin than in any other cryptocurrency, the rest will (as always) keep imitating Bitcoin if they want to remain relevant.
3331  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: satoshi addresses on: December 13, 2015, 10:42:43 PM
Who watches his addresses??? How will we know when if/when any are moved?

It's easy to know when they are moved, just look it up on blockchain.info or whatever blockchain browser of your choice. What's "funny" is, it seems the early addresses may be prone to quantum attacks (not post 2012 addresses) so even if some day the coins move, we will not know if someone made a successful quantum attack on satoshi's keys, or is satoshi him/her/itself moving coins.
3332  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is your gambling stategy? Are you risky, or do you prefer slow? on: December 12, 2015, 06:00:57 PM
I prefer going slow, better chance of making a profit.

But I lose most of it anyway  Wink

Do you really have more chances to make profit? I think it takes the same, you just divide the amount of tries but it's still probability fair which means it can go both ways. I always end up playing slots at maximun lines because going low on lines is not that exciting and I somehow feel like im losing on big opportunities to get really lucky.
3333  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Segregated witness - The solution to Scalability (short term)? on: December 12, 2015, 05:57:47 PM
the only valid benefit i see is reduced storage - which is not bad but is it important? i dont think so. AFAIK nodes running on home-intrnet-lines are adding a burden on the network anyway.

so...still undecided ;-) but i like to learn more...
Malleability fix, simpler script upgrades, fraud proof.. those are not 'valid benefits' ? The least important benefit here is reduced storage. Most people don't run nodes so they don't even care about that.
This thing is pretty genius to be honest, even Andreas dedicated a post to sigwit and described it as a turning point in Bitcoin. This is exactly what we needed before Lightning Network which disipates all doubts of Bitcoin being able to wait until LN is operative, with sigwit we will be able to deal with any extra traffic of new people jumping in in the next year or so.

Also I noticed you are still not Legendary, pretty bad luck considering it starts randomly at 775 activity+ randomly I think :p
3334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New Bitcoin Scam on: December 12, 2015, 05:52:26 PM
In the future there will be millions of similar scams. Right now we have all those "Niggerian Prince" type of email spams, in the future those people will use Bitcoin because of how easy it is to scam people that isn't wary of what they are doing with their computer.
3335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Markets Tanking >>> Bitcoin Steady Climb >>> Safe Haven Effect Kicking in on: December 12, 2015, 05:28:58 PM

I believe they will be the first switching over to Bitcoin and precious metals if fiat and financial markets go down. Big investors, global companies, hedge funds are the ones who will be first.Just alone this could create crazy spikes!
My biggest concern would be if the network could handle all that in a very short time.There's a lot of work to do and we can not waist time.

Just alone the halving will create another big media attention I believe, which could trigger another wave of new participants.
You nailed it right there.  I'm not saying that the price explosion and mainstream furor is imminent, but it COULD happen soon, and it COULD happen quickly, very very quickly.  

That is why it is so imperative that the Core Dev Team / Miners / Exchanges get through this existing Scaling hurdle.  There are a lot of people watching this and saying, these people simply do not get it...... this financial crisis could happen fast.  Again, NOT saying it will happen this coming week, and I am not quite ready to declare we're at the beginning of a huge liftoff - but if Bitcoin recovers all the way by end of weekend from the 13% triple smackdown they just attempted, then I say odds are that we just got a lot closer to liftoff.

I think things are growing at a good pace, the last convention was a success with the presentation of sigwit, so we are making progress. We will be able to scale before the average joe catches up and the transaction volume skyrockets, we are still at least 1 to 2 years before the average folk jumps in and that time is exactly what it take for the lightning network to start scaling it to worldwide levels.
3336  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Is Samurai wallet related to Darkwallet? on: December 12, 2015, 05:25:40 PM
I was reading on Amir Taaki which apparently has dissipated from the map. He was involved in Darkwallet, founder along with Cody Wilson, but it seems development has been frozen for a long time. Then Samurai wallet come out which I think aim for the same (better privacy).

Did some of the devs on Darkwallet go to Samurai wallet team or they are completely separated? also what are the differences from those two wallets?
3337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where is Charles Hoskinson? on: December 12, 2015, 05:23:07 PM
He seems to be ok, but the guy that is still missing is Amir. It seems heh ad some enemies because of some supposed scam, I have no idea because I was still not around back in the day, I know him from the good job done in DarkWallet taht unfortunately stopped indefinitely.
3338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: December 12, 2015, 05:21:59 PM
17k a coin by 2025 is nothing, they are being way too conservative to save face in case it doesn't get as high, but it will get way higher. By then the halving after 2016 will be happening which is when coin generation will get really step, if you look at the halving graphic you can see this. By 2027 the price will be higher than anyone can imagine now.
3339  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interesting Facts About David Kleiman's Life on: December 10, 2015, 11:17:40 PM
Can't really say that those facts are that interesting..

Most of it is indeed a bit too private and personal, but some of it must be known in order to try to trace a line with Satoshi, the fact that he entered the hospital around that time I think it's somewhat interesting because that's when Satoshi started to become less and less active. I think it's too farfetched to say this guy is Satoshi, let alone the other Craig guy.
3340  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using Tor while gambling.. any problems? on: December 10, 2015, 11:10:39 PM
I don't understand why anyone is having any problem with this, for example this site (i never play in here but just for example)

https://bitcoinvideocasino.com/videopoker

Check that is https and that's about it, and you dont even need an account, just send your btc and you are already playing. You need to enable javascript tho, which can lead to some exploit, but you are exposed to that with normal browser too, and to be honest i dont think most people here is having to have any relevant money being lost since at least me i play for fun with 5 dollars or something so who cares. In any case nothing is going to happen.
